You will need multiple cameras for that, if you're not moving around too much two cameras should be sufficient. But three would eliminate allot of occlusion problems when markers goes out of view.

You could also use TrackIR in conjunction with my tutorial to get the correct head movement.

This guy has written a plugin for Maya that captures TrackIR data

A late reply; the supplement files has been updated to include some Maya scenes from various stages of? the project. The model and textures was created using the tool makeHuman.

Have fun!
